In our study, we detected the presence of the newly discovered taxa and here, we provide new DNA sequences on the barcoding region mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I together with ecological information of the recently described Ceriodaphnia smirnovi. Additionally, we built a molecular phylogenetic tree and genetically compared these specimens with previously available mitochondrial DNA sequences and with new sequences of the genus recovered in Iberia. Our data suggest that this morphospecies might contain some cryptic taxa and might be more common than previously thought, occupying temporary to semi‐permanent ecosystems, with vegetation and highly variable pH and turbidity conditions. Moreover, the existence of a non‐identified clade within our phylogenetic tree requires additional morphological research. Our study highlights the need for further research on microcrustacean biota to better constrain its spatial boundaries, phylogenetic relationship and determine species hiding cryptic diversity.","PeriodicalId":49334,"journal":{"name":"Zoologica Scripta","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44647494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A relaxed molecular clock hypothesis is presented that incorporates several calibration points based on fossils or on previously published age estimates for major clades. Accordingly, the Sundaland diplommatinids Plectostoma, Opisthostoma, Arinia and Diplommatina are of considerable evolutionary antiquity, each likely having originated during the Cretaceous or early Paleogene at the latest. The Palaina sensu lato main clade was found to be the sister of all other diplommatinids included in the tree and has also diverged during the late Cretaceous.

The genus is taxonomically difficult as several available nominal species were introduced based on shell descriptions alone, or described based on subtle differences in morpho‐anatomical features, without a phylogenetic molecular framework. Fifteen species are currently accepted as valid in recent scientific literature and field guides (eight Eastern Atlantic, one temperate Indian Ocean, four Western Atlantic and three Eastern Pacific). Here we generate the first complete phylogeny (Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood) of this genus based on multilocus molecular data (COI, 12S rRNA, 16S rRNA, 28S rRNA) using a taxon set accumulated over a period of 15 years, coupled with species delimitation analyses methods (ABGD, ASAP, bPTP) and morpho‐anatomical studies. The goal of this study is to provide insights into the taxonomy, phylogenetic relationships and geographical distributions of species while generating a framework for future systematic reviews of the genus, as well as to study speciation and historical biogeography. Our results rendered four possible hypotheses of species diversity: with 14, 15, 19 and 20 candidate species and point to the fact that several taxa presently regarded as valid might be conspecific (e.g. H. orteai–H. templadoi–H. exigua; and H. alfredensis–H. antillarum–H. orbignyana), while highlighting the existence of a complex of four or five species often identified as H. elegans.

Molecular phylogenetic analysis of Garra species from the mountain is still lacking. Here, an integrative analysis, based on morphological and molecular data, unravelled the hidden species diversity of Garra from Mount Kenya. In mitochondrial genes‐based trees, samples formerly identified as Garra dembeensis from the mountain nested into three distinct lineages that were distantly allied to the lineage constituted by topotypical samples of the species; the three lineages are morphologically distinguishable, and thus represent three distinct species: Garra hindii and two undescribed species, herein named as Garra alticauda sp. nov. and Garra minibarbata sp. nov., respectively, from the Mara River and the Ragati River of the mid‐upper Tana River basin. The phylogeographic pattern of the three species is incongruent with the present‐day basin pattern of Mount Kenya. The allopatry of the paired species G. alticauda and G. hindii points to river piracy ever incurring between the upper Ewaso Ngiro River and the middle Tana River basin in Mount Kenya. Besides, the molecular phylogenetic analysis of sampled African Garra species in this study, based on a broad set of sequences, provides evidence in support for the existing hypothesis of Asia‐to‐Africa biodispersal via the Arabian Peninsula to the Horn of Africa.","PeriodicalId":49334,"journal":{"name":"Zoologica Scripta","volume":"52 1","pages":"588 - 605"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42805739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their unique morphology, the intraspecific variation of morphological and behavioural traits in these flies is still not well‐studied, leaving some questions about species definition unresolved. To address this, we conducted a study combining morphological evidence, behavioural studies, and molecular analyses. Our findings revealed male polymorphism in stalk‐eyed fruit flies for the first time, with four morphotypes observed in Pe. fukienensis and three in Pe. ichneumoneus and Ps. angustifasciatus. These morphotypes differ in eyestalk length, wing pattern, and the presence of projections or spikes at the ends of the compound eye. We also propose phylogenetic and phylogeographic implications for the group based on new molecular evidence, along with our observations of courtship and mating behaviours between previously recognized different species. Our study examined four nominal species (Pe. ichneumoneus and Pe. tangliangi, Ps. angustifasciatus and Ps. continentalis) and revealed rich evolutionary interactions within this group. Based on the results, we propose the synonymy of Pe. tangliangi Chen with Pe. ichneumoneus (Westwood) and Ps. continentalis Zia & Chen with Ps. angustifasciatus Zia & Chen.","PeriodicalId":49334,"journal":{"name":"Zoologica Scripta","volume":"52 1","pages":"629 - 644"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45925394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ethnobiologists have suggested that these nomenclatures include cryptic ‘ethnotaxonomic ranks’, although the existence of these ranks has been increasingly questioned recently. The fact that no trace of such ranks has been evoked in Aristotle's classification of animals but that they have been described in antique Roman ethnotaxonomies casts further doubts about these cryptic ranks. The advent of rank‐based nomenclature (RN) in the mid‐18th century has had a pervasive, but not only positive, influence on biological nomenclature. The use of a single type and of a subjective, artificial nomenclatural rank does not delimit taxa under RN. This is even a goal of RN, according to Principle 2 of the Zoological Code. This contrasts with the nomenclatures of other fields, some of which are designed to delimit entities fairly precisely (e.g. geopolitics, stratigraphy, chemistry), and in which ranks are either defined more objectively (e.g. geopolitics, chemistry), or used informally and relegated to a secondary role (e.g. biogeography, paleobiogeography), or vary in time (e.g., paleobiogeography) or space (e.g., stratigraphy). A trend towards more explicit and precise delimitation of entities over time is also discernible in some fields, especially geopolitics and stratigraphy. In this context, the development of phylogenetic nomenclature (PN) and the recent advent of the PhyloCode appear as the logical outcome of the development of evolutionary biology and phylogenetics.","PeriodicalId":49334,"journal":{"name":"Zoologica Scripta","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45205187","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we analysed quantitative as well as qualitative morphological characters related to external morphology, squamation, neurocranium, visceral arches, pectoral and pelvic girdles and claspers, totalizing 82 characters, representing a greater number than previously used in studies focused on rajiform systematics. 24 terminal taxa were included, and two different analyses were carried out testing Narcine brasiliensis and Pseudobatos horkelii as roots of the cladogram. The monophyly of Riorajini is supported by five quantitative and three discrete characters, including a caudal length smaller than disc length, sensory pores and mucous canals darkly pigmented on ventral surface of disc, and preorbital flange present. Clasper morphology was phylogenetically informative since it contributes to diagnose Rioraja in which an accessory terminal 2 cartilage is absent and to support a sister relationship between A. cyclophora + A. platana.

In the present study, the primary and secondary structures of nuclear and hydrogenosomal rRNA molecules were employed to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships and to estimate the divergence times of clevelandellids inhabiting the hindgut of the Panesthiinae cockroaches. The secondary structure information was incorporated in phylogenetic analyses using two different strategies, viz., indirectly through 2D‐guided alignments and directly through so‐called pseudo‐protein data. Nuclear and hydrogenosomal markers carried a consistent phylogenetic signal and robustly supported the monophyletic origin of the family Clevelandellidae as well as of its four genera. According to Bayesian relaxed molecular clock analyses, the last common ancestor (LCA) of the family Clevelandellidae very likely emerged during the Late Cretaceous in the Oriental region. Its descendants most likely expanded to Australia in concert with the Neogene colonization and radiation of their host Panesthiinae cockroaches. Taking into account the time‐calibrated phylogenies and the fact that early branching members of the order Clevelandellida inhabit the digestive tracts of amphibians, it is tempting to speculate that the LCA of the Clevelandellida evolved in ectothermic vertebrates. Amphibians could have brought clevelandellids to the land, where they may have been transmitted to the cockroach digestive tract upon feeding on amphibian faeces.","PeriodicalId":49334,"journal":{"name":"Zoologica Scripta","volume":"52 1","pages":"662 - 687"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42369793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A recent transcriptome‐based approach, including 16% of the nominal tarantula genera (25), provided the first robust phylogenetic hypothesis of deep tarantula relationships. However, transcriptomics has practical downsides, making it less than ideal for phylogenomic analyses. Ultraconserved Elements (UCE) sequencing, a cost‐effective alternative, allows for the simultaneous reading of hundreds of loci and utilizing samples with degraded DNA, including museum material, but its utility for resolving deep tarantula relationships remains to be tested. In this study, I recovered up to ~850 unique UCE loci from publicly available individual tarantula transcriptomes. Phylogenetic estimation using these loci resulted in topologies identical to those obtained from the published complete transcriptomic datasets, with limited phylogenetic uncertainty restricted to two branches in the tarantula tree of life. I conclude that UCE information has great potential for resolving at least moderate to deep tarantula relationships and that numerous UCE loci can be harvested from tarantula transcriptomic data. Finally, I provide databases of transcripts and UCE loci for the 27 currently available tarantula genera, facilitating their inclusion in future phylogenomic studies with deeper taxon coverage.","PeriodicalId":49334,"journal":{"name":"Zoologica Scripta","volume":"52 1","pages":"645 - 653"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2023-07-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41407900","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
